XP Service Pack 3

Microsoft really ticks me off sometimes. I just got done sitting here for an hour while my system was upgraded to Service Pack 3. My machine was running just fine. There is no noticeable change. I lost one hour of time in getting things done. Not good. Microsoft needs to do a better job with the autoupdate feature. I had no idea what I was installing, let alone that it would take an hour. Can't I get a box that tells me what is installing and how long. The system was also downloading the update while I was trying to use my computer, and it was dog slow. I thought something was really wrong with my computer until the install update window came up. It really, really sucked.
